1. A speech recognition method in a system that controls one or more devices by using speech recognition, comprising:
- obtaining speech information representing speech spoken by a user;
recognizing the speech information, obtained in the obtaining, as character information; and
determining, based on the character information recognized in the recognizing, whether the speech is spoken to the one or more devices;
generating, in a case where it is determined that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices based on the recognized character information, an operation instruction for the one or more devices; and
not generating, in a case where it is determined that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices based on the recognized character information, the operation instruction for the one or more devices,wherein at least one of the obtaining, the recognizing, the determining, and the generating is performed by circuitry, andwherein the determining whether the speech is spoken to the one or more devices includesanalyzing a sentence pattern of the character information,determining whether the sentence pattern is interrogative,determining whether the sentence pattern is imperative,determining whether the sentence pattern is declarative,determining whether the sentence pattern is exclamatory,determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is interrogative, that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices,determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is imperative, that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices,determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is declarative, that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices, anddetermining, in a case where the sentence pattern is exclamatory, that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices.

Abstract
A speech recognition apparatus that controls one or more devices by using speech recognition, including: a speech obtainer that obtains speech information representing speech spoken by a user; a speech recognition processor that recognizes the speech information, obtained by the speech obtainer, as character information; and a recognition result determiner that determines, based on the character information recognized by the speech recognition processor, whether the speech is spoken to the device(s).

13. A speech recognition apparatus that controls one or more devices by using speech recognition, comprising:
-
one or more memories; and circuitry that performs operations, including obtaining speech information representing speech spoken by a user; recognizing the speech information, obtained in the obtaining, as character information; determining, based on the character information recognized in the recognizing, whether the speech is spoken to the one or more devices; generating, in a case where it is determined that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices based on the recognized character information, an operation instruction for the one or more devices; and not generating, in a case where it is determined that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices based on the recognized character information, the operation instruction for the one or more devices, and wherein the determining whether the speech is spoken to the one or more devices includes analyzing a sentence pattern of the character information, determining whether the sentence pattern is interrogative, determining whether the sentence pattern is imperative, determining whether the sentence pattern is declarative, determining whether the sentence pattern is exclamatory, determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is interrogative, that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices, determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is imperative, that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices, determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is declarative, that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices, and determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is exclamatory, that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices.
